Defending Leroy Henry in D-Day Britain
Presented by: Portsmouth BookFest0 | SOUTHSEA: D-Day Story |

N | 1:00pm |
Join us for this special event at The DDay Story where author Kate Werran will be in conversation with presenter and podcaster Jo Durrant to tell us the fascinating story behind her latest book. As the build-up to D-Day escalates, Leroy Henry’s story unfolds, allowing us to view a pivotal point in history with an entirely new perspective, making race, the ‘special relationship’ and the British people’s collective power key considerations.
Within the pages of Black Yanks, Kate Werran unearths archival
material to reveal the story behind the first significant – if
uncelebrated – win in the civil rights movement, a story that
has been overlooked for nearly eight decades. Until now.
